gunner, Phil is the pro with the stones..he uses a 30/06... grin


Believe me, there is no more hollow a feeling than when a hard hit brown bear gets into heavy cover and you know you let it happen....which I did. blush Things get very quiet very fast and there is this "Oh shidt now you've really done it" moment that follows.All the ballistic gack and excruciating nitpicking goes in the shidter at that point.

Not that I shot badly because I was fearful of 375 recoil; I actually hit precisely where I wanted to, which was the wrong place.Shame on me.

I know the feeling of a 375 shrinking to the power level of a 22 rim fire under those circumstances,and recoils about much. You barely remember the rifle going off smile




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
